Write It Out

Why do I write?

Someone asked me this question. I, in all honesty, didn't know how to reply. No answer rolled off the tip of my tongue, no words tumbled neatly out of my mouth, and my brain drew a complete blank. Why do I write?

I thought about it for a long while.

I write for myself. I write to express how I feel about things, people, places, and events. I write to save my thoughts; to share my thoughts. I write for the love of language.


I write...

I write...

I write...

Finally the answer comes to me.



I write because that is who I am.
